School Days| The War to End War

A great way to enrich any study of Remembrance and the impact The Great War had on the lives of men, women and children in Britain or on the Western Front between 1914 and 1918.

As ever the emphasis is on having FUN, using artefacts, role-play, and games to teach history in an engaging and meaningful way.

o The Road to War: how did it all start?oHome by Christmas: Germany attacks, the "Race to the Sea", stalemate and the Christmas Truce;oBritain under Fire: the first Blitz and air raid precautions;o"Your Country Needs You!": joining up, training and equipment;oMuck and Bullets: trench life, the battles and "going over the top";oShot at Dawn;oHome Front: the U-Boat stranglehold, rationing, women at war;oThe Guns Fall Silent: armistice, homecoming, the "war to end war" and remembrance;oWomen's Suffrage: are you a Suffragist or a Suffragette?
